Elastic interaction between "hard" or "soft" pointwise inclusions on biological membranes.
We calculate the induced elastic interaction between pointwise membrane inclusions that locally interact up to quadratic order with the membrane curvature tensor. For isotropic inclusions, we recover the usual interaction proportional to the inverse fourth power of the separation, however with a prefactor showing a non-trivial dependence on the rigidity Gamma of the quadratic potential. In the ...
متن کاملElastic interaction of point defects on biological membranes.
The interaction between inclusions mediated by biological membranes undulations is analyzed. The interaction law is interpreted in terms of symmetries associated with inclusions. We show, in particular, that for a C3 and C3v symmetries the interaction law falls as 1/r3. We show that for completely isotropic inclusions, the dominant interaction vanishes to all orders, and the first contribution ...
متن کاملInclusions on fluid membranes anchored to elastic media.
We model theoretically the effect of localized forces on a fluid membrane anchored to a uniform elastic medium. We use this as a simple model for the plasma membrane of a cell. The atomic force microscope (AFM) has been used to apply such forces, but large membrane perturbations occurring in vivo are also treated within the same framework. Inclusions of this nature may include cell junctions, f...

متن کاملInteractions between Membrane Inclusions on Fluctuating Membranes
We model membrane proteins as anisotropic objects characterized by symmetric-traceless tensors and determine the coupling between these orderparameters and membrane curvature. We consider the interactions 1) between transmembrane proteins that respect up-down (reflection) symmetry of bilayer membranes and that have circular or non-circular cross-sectional areas in the tangent-plane of membranes...
